USS Atlanta (IX-304)


Shock mounting system for equipment mounted on board Atlanta, photographed as she was completing conversion to a weapons effects test ship at the Hunters' Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, California, circa October 1964.
The original picture caption, released by 12th Naval District Office of Public Information, reads: "The shock mounted recorders are suspended on 'rubber rope' between the ceiling and deck. Regardless of the shock the ship receives, the equipment will float free insuring accurate recording."
